What are the symptoms of banana allergy?
Bananas are one of the most popular fruits in the United States. If you experience discomfort after eating bananas or products that contain banana, you may suffer from a banana sensitivity allergy. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can include itching in the mouth or throat, hives, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. In rare cases a severe allergy may cause shortness of breath, tightening of the airways, and lightheadedness.
How do you test for banana allergy?
A simple blood test can help determine if your symptoms are due to a banana allergy. Blood testing looks for IgE antibodies that the body develops in response to a specific allergen. These antibodies trigger the release of histamine which is responsible for your allergy symptoms. If your banana allergy blood test shows elevated levels of IgE antibodies, it may mean that you have banana sensitivity and will have to avoid them.
